This Deep Dive series is all about why motherhood is so gosh darn hard. Turns out there are sociopolitical forces at play that make motherhood way harder than it needs to be. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify.
The average adult makes 35,000 decisions a day. The average "default parent" makes a lot more than that. No wonder we suffer from decision fatigue. The more decisions we have to make, the more fatigue we develop, and the more difficult it can become to function.
So how can we combat the frustration, apathy, and resentment that result from having to make all the decisions in the family?
In this episode we discuss:
-How decision fatigue manifests—and how it differs from burnout
-The best time of day to make hard decisions
-Why "going with the flow" is not actually a thing
